I will find more ways to defeat insecurity -Tinubu assures Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s determination to find lasting solutions to terrorism and banditry in the country, assuring Nigerians that the government remains resolute in tackling the security challenges.

The President made this known on Monday while delivering his opening remarks at the ongoing National Executive Council (NEC) Conference on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development in Abuja.

Tinubu commended several state governors, particularly those of Borno, Katsina, and Kaduna States, for their efforts in safeguarding lives, property, and the nation’s freedom amid persistent security threats.

According to the President, insecurity poses a major economic burden on the country, stressing that decisive action is required to address the challenge.

“I am leaving here again to further find means to strengthen our security forces to defeat terrorism and banditry, that I promise you. It is an economic encumbrance if we do not find a solution to it,” he said.

He added that the fight against terrorism and banditry remains a top priority for his administration.

“It is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you that we will win with determination and resiliency. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry; it’s not part of our culture, it’s foreign to us,” Tinubu stated.

On the economy, the President said his government is intensifying efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability, noting that improved revenue generation and effective public financial management are key focus areas.

He further disclosed that the administration has prioritised infrastructure development across critical sectors such as transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing, and irrigation, describing them as catalysts for inclusive growth and sustainable national development
